Larry,

Why do you "give away" BK for single-user use? That's to make people familiar with the product so that they will know about it when they DO need it in the case that they end up in a situation where it does make sense. right?

Now you're saying that you don't want the market of 2-10 developers:the other version control systems don't hurt enough.

Would it make sense to allow these people to use BK for free underthese circumstances, so that WHEN they grow, they are alreadyusing BK, and know exactly how to use it?

My company with 2 developers will survive on tar&diff if you want money for BK from us. We might decide that "tar&diff" still workswhen we cross the 25 developer line..... You might want us to be using BK by that time.

Roger.
